What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are high end facials used to diminish brown spots, improve skin tone, treat acne and diminish fine wrinkling. Chemical peels use specific solutions to improve and smooth the facial skin by removing damaged outer layers. It can also increase cellular turnover that results in a finer epidermis. At the same time, chemical peels nurse skin that’s dry or oily, sensitive, acne prone, and sun damaged.¹

Chemical Peel FAQ

What are the different types of chemical peels NYC patients can find in our clinic?

Alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) is one type of chemical peel that treats the epidermis while mildly stimulates the formation of collagen. One AHA that’s commonly used is the Glycolic Acid to help smooth dry and rough skin, even out skin tone and minimize the appearance of sun damage. AHAs are fruit acids that are derived from citrus fruits or sugar cane. Usually, there’s a short recovery time needed since your skin will turn red and undergo flaking for several days.* To get optimum results, series of treatments is needed. Since the results are only temporary, regular treatment is recommended.

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) goes a little deeper than AHA. It’s a type of medium chemical peel that targets the deeper skin layers called dermis. People with fair complexion are common candidates for TCA. This procedure can cause the epidermis and upper dermis to peel. It’s used to treat several skin conditions but it’s commonly used for sun damage like wrinkles and brown spots. Sometimes, it’s necessary to undergo a series of medium peels before seeing optimal result.

What are VI Peels

VI Peel. This type of Chemical Peel contains a blend of gentle but powerful ingredients that can be used for all types of skin. It’s very effective in reversing signs of aging, treating sun damage and treating acne. A VI Peel aims to reduce the appearance of age spots, freckles, and hyper pigmentation while improving skin tone, clarity and texture. On top of all these, it can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to soften fine lines and wrinkles.
